I had this in black and in brown, and hit pan on both of them. They are smudge proof and really, truly last all day. I do have to say though that they dry out pretty quickly. I personally didn’t have a problem with that because I had literally been using them every day until I ran out, but I could see many people unhappy about that. Not everyone commits to one brand of liner at a time, so it...read more’s not very practical when they dry out within 7 months.
If you are looking for something that's blendable - don't get this because it sets pretty quickly. If you need an eye liner that is well pigmented, will last you all day and sets relatively quickly, then this is a perfect one for you. It’s a thick cream, almost has a waxy feeling to it and the little brush that comes with these is pretty handy too – I actually ended up using it at the time.
With that being said, I would like to point out that since then, I have completely switched to using “e.l.f. Cosmetics” Studio Eye Liners. I find them a lot more creamy than these “Maybelline” ones, they don’t dry out as quickly which gives you time to smudge them if you need to and they definitely last you all day. Those are seriously smudge and water-proof. Sometimes I need to run the brush on the back of my hand before using it on my eyelid, and if I don’t wash that swatch off right away I will have to work at it pretty hard the next time I wash my hands. These need to be rubbed off with a sponge! So yes, using a makeup remover for mascara definitely helps at the end of the day.
But if you are considering getting these “Maybelline” liners because you’ve heard a lot about them – yes, definitely go for it. It is a good product and still relatively inexpensive, compared to high end alternatives of the same type… ;)
